TB-500 is one of the most significant synthetic research peptides in regenerative and cellular biology studies. It is the N-terminally acetylated synthetic fragment (Ac-LKKTETQ) that mimics the central, highly active domain (amino acids 17−23) of the naturally occurring 43-amino-acid protein, Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4) [1, 2].
The core research utility of TB-500 lies in its fundamental role as an actin regulator, making it invaluable for labs studying cellular structure, motility, and tissue repair mechanisms.
This guide details TB-500’s unique molecular function, its key applications in research, and the strict compliance standards required for its procurement in Canada.
TB-500’s mechanism is distinct from other regulatory peptides, focusing on the cytoskeleton—the internal scaffolding of the cell.
The primary function of Tβ4 and its analog, TB-500, is to bind to monomeric G-actin (globular actin) [1, 2].
Action: This actin-sequestering property prevents G-actin monomers from polymerizing into F-actin (filamentous actin), essentially maintaining a pool of free G-actin within the cell [2].
Research Relevance: The controlled release of G-actin from TB-500/Tβ4 triggers rapid actin polymerization, which is the mechanical force driving cellular motility and structural changes [2.5, 3.4].
By regulating the actin cytoskeleton, TB-500 acts as a potent inducer of cellular migration, a critical step in tissue repair [1, 2].
Wound Healing Models: It facilitates the movement of key repair cells (like keratinocytes and fibroblasts) to injury sites [1.4].
Angiogenesis: TB-500 is intensely researched for its ability to promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) by stimulating the migration and differentiation of endothelial cells [1.5, 3.2]. This process is crucial for supplying oxygen and nutrients to damaged or regenerating tissue.
| Research Category | Primary Focus of Study | Relevance to Canadian Labs |
| Tissue Regeneration | Repair models for tendons, ligaments, and muscle fibers | Investigating the role of Tβ4 in musculoskeletal recovery and reducing fibrosis. |
| Wound Healing | Dermal and corneal injury models, re-epithelialization | Studying accelerated closure and reduced scar tissue formation [3.5]. |
| Cardiovascular Research | Post-ischemic injury, cardiac muscle repair, angiogenesis | Modeling new blood vessel formation in compromised tissue. |
| Inflammation | Modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines | Researching its hypothesized anti-inflammatory effects in soft tissue models [1.6]. |
Given that injectable peptides are frequently flagged by Health Canada as unauthorized prescription drugs when intended for human use, strict Research-Use-Only (RUO) compliance is mandatory [4.3, 4.4].
Analytical Standard: Luxara Labs supplies TB-500 with ≥99% analytical purity, verified by HPLC and Mass Spectrometry (MS).
Documentation: A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) must accompany every batch, providing full transparency on identity (Ac-LKKTETQ) and concentration.
